Significant figures are those meaningful digits that are known with certainty. They indicate uncertainty in an experiment or calculated value. For example, if 15.6 mL is the result of an experiment, then 15 is certain while 6 is uncertain, and the total number of significant figures are 3.
Hence, significant figures are defined as the total number of digits in a number including the last digit that represents the uncertainty of the result.
If the uncertainty in velocity and position of a minute particle in space are, \(2.4 × 10^{–26}\) \((m s^{–1)}\) and \(10^{–7} (m)\), respectively. The mass of the particle in g is _____ . (Nearest integer)
(Given : \(h = 6.626 × 10^{–34} Js\))
